Euro zone employment maintains steady rise

BRUSSELS, Sept 11 (Reuters): Euro zone employment rose at the same rate in the second quarter as the first to a new record high, data released on Tuesday showed.

Employment in the 19 countries sharing the euro zone increased by 0.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter and by 1.5 per cent year-on-year, EU statistics office Eurostat said.

These were the same rates of change as in the first three months of 2018.
